Welcome To Day 4 Of “25 Days Of Christmas Sweet Treats”!
Last year I did “25 Days Of Christmas Cookies“. Please click the link to find all those wonderful recipes and please check back here every day for Christmas Sweet Treats all the way up until Christmas Day!
I was thrilled to find out last night that the live Christmas Trees will be here and ready to be purchased on Saturday morning! So excited.
Saturday is a busy day around here. It’s also the day/evening of our Command Holiday Party. Let me just say I can not wait for it to be over, it’s been so stressful and brain consuming. I just want to focus more of my time on enjoying the Christmas Season and baking of course!
Bars are fun to make, they normally come together fairly quickly and you can pretty much add whatever your tastes are to them. These bars are not only delicious but pleasing to the eye, the red cranberries and the white chocolate really pop together and scream Christmastime!!
Can you believe there are only 20 days left till Christmas?!? Are you ready? We have a bunch of boxes streaming in almost daily with Christmas presents and by Sunday our Christmas tree will be all decorated and then the house will feel complete!
Merry Christmas!
